Willow invents a game

Willow made a game at home. Watch her play the game with Jovana.

Roko with me.

I brought Roko to school. He has very sharp claws and his dad was a circus guinea pig.  He is very famous. Roko was very brave at school today and we were very lucky because he isn't normally that brave. I got Roko when he was one year old and I was five years old. Now I am six and Roko is two now. I love Roko because he is very fuzzy and very warm when I cuddle him. We take lots of things to school  and today I wanted to take Roko with all the other things too. Roko has a sister that is smooth and she is black. She has a bit of white on her too. I am going to China to live so I need to give him away to someone before we go there.

My bird feeder

I made a bird feeder and it has lots of colourful bright tiles on the sides. My bird feeder isn't very strong so I do not want it to fall over because the tiles will fall off. It took a long time to make it. One day, the whole lot of it fell over!
